This statement will apply any outstanding database updates and wait until they have actually been put on the database before proceeding to the next statement.
An ordinary commit work will initiate the process to update the databases in a separate task and will press on in your abap.
COMMIT WORK: ( Asynchronous)
Your program does not wait for any acknowledgement. it just start executing the next statment after COMMIT WORK
This is the standard form, which specifies asynchronous processing. Your program does not wait for the requested functions to finish processing.
<b>COMMIT WORK AND WAIT</b>
This form specifies synchronous processing. The commit statement waits for the requested functions to finish processing. Control returns to your program after all high priority (V1) function modules have run successfully.
The AND WAIT form is convenient for switching old programs to synchronous processing without having to re-write the code. Functionally, using AND WAIT for update-task updates is just the same as dialog-task updates with PERFORM ON COMMIT.
Whan you make changes to the database tables, nothing is actually done until you execute a COMMIT WORK statement (alternatively, you can cancel the changes with ROLLBACK WORK).
In ABAP it's possible to have some code executed authomatically after a commit, so:
Commit work and wait
means: save the changes and wait the code authomatically executed to finish its job.
